Wednesday Thoughts, Gratitude List, and Poem

‘Idál (Justice), 1 Núr (Light) 176 B.E. - Wednesday, June 5, 2019
Feast of Núr

I posted Day 2 of my entry in the "The Bard's Hall Contest" . I'm attempting to post entries that have nothing to do with the any blog prompts I receive. On Tuesday, June 4, I posted "Tuesday Contemplations: June 4, 2019" , and today, Wednesday, June 5, I posted "Midweek Reflections on the Nineteen-Day Feasts" . The reason for this is creativity, I need to convince myself that I can consistently post entries that have nothing to do with blog prompts.

Gratitude List For 1 Núr

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the fresh brewed coffee I had this morning.
          ...that I have 750 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the Cream Soda I had with my lunch.
          ...that I have $15.87 in my Vindale Research account.
          ...for the working air conditioner we have in this apartment.
          ...that I have 881,766 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the bottles of water we have because it tastes better than water out of faucet.
          ...that I was able to finish the article When My Nightmares Turned into Spiritual Dreams   by Camilla Chance.

"Feast of Nur (Light)" 1

Life is renewed,
and creation reborn
for Christ ha returned
in the Father's Glory.

Stalactites of light
shine with crystal radiance,
while grandeur is reflected
from radiant stalagmites.

Stalagmites and stalactites
glitter in the darkness of matter
proclaiming the joyous news.

Silence transcends
for an abundance of reasons say:
That God's Promise is fulfilled.

Splendor's shadow hides
in the radiant reflection
of the Lord of Host
and the King of Glory.
